Defective Records Software introduced VSTi Host 3.0, the
brand new version of the original Macintosh application that allows
VST instrument and effect plugins to be used outside of larger host
applications (like Cubase, Logic, etc.). It also allows for
sequencers that may not have native support for VST plugins and/or
instruments (like ProTools, Vision, Digital Performer, and Metro for
example) to use them, as long as the sequencer supports OMS.
Version 3.0 adds many new features, including:
- simultaneous use of both a VST instrument (VSTi) and either file playback (AIFF) or real-time audio input
- realtime routing of audio through 4 VST effects via a flexible effect routing architecture
- support for ASIO-compliant hardware, yielding improved low latency capability
- support for recording output to file (AIFF)
- virtual MIDI keyboard
- online quick help
- all new graphic user interface
VSTi Host is perfect if you have an extra Mac that you'd like to put
to use as a virtual synth and/or effects unit, or if your sequencer
of choice doesn't support the VST plugins you'd like to use.
Version 3.0 costs $35
($10 for upgrade from version 2.0), and available directly via online
purchase. For more information, visit their web site at www.defectiverecords.com. |
